[AJD] Late Styled G Rear Wheel Removal

[Wiebelhaus]

Bill,  my 52A was the same way. The hub was rusted to the axle. I used 
the jack like you have and heated the clamp with a torch. I also used an 
8 pound hammer and 2"x 1/2" piece of flat stock bar to hammer on the hub 
near the axle. Keep pressure on the jack, heating and reasonable use of 
the hammer. Sometimes removing the cast center wheel will relieve some 
pressure on the hub. You may want to consider a replacement hub if 
your's breaks during the "fun"
